<p><strong>What is Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin:</strong></p>
<p>Cluster Dextrin<sup>TM</sup> is a trademarked form of Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin that is a new type of dextrin that is produced from amylopectin via cyclization reaction of a branching enzyme (BE,1,4-α-D-glucan: 1,4-α-D-glucan 6-α-D-(1,4-α-D-glucano)-transferase,EC 2.4.1.18).</p>
<p><br> Ezaki Glico has successfully achieved industrial production of Cluster Dextrin by applying its unique technology in enzymology.</p>
<p><br> Glico obtained FDA Notified GRAS status for Cluster Dextrin in October 2012. Cluster Dextrin is manufactured by applying an enzyme called a branching enzyme to cornstarch . The branching enzyme works on the joint of the cluster structure of amylopectin and degrades it by cyclization.</p>
<p><br> Thus, Cluster Dextrin<sup>TM</sup> is considered to maintain the cluster structure, which is the basic structural unit of amylopectin, nearly as it is.</p>

<div class="column-layout__text">
<p><strong>Shorter residence time in the stomach allows design of a sports drink that is quickly absorbed in the body.</strong></p>
<p><br> Usually, in the case of beverages with electrolytes only, 280 mOsm (same osmotic pressure as bodily fluid) is absorbed quickest. However, our research revealed that gastric emptying when the beverages contain <a href="https://www.musclefeast.com/collections/carbohydrates" target="_blank">carbohydrates</a>, with a low osmotic pressure beverage of approximately 150 mOsm, is the shortest in proportion to the osmotic pressure of the beverage and gastric emptying (transfer time from stomach to intestine)*1).</p>
<p><br> That is, if low molecular weight carbohydrates such as glucose are used, osmotic pressure becomes higher even if the concentration is the same (620 mOsm in 10% solution), and only leads to preparation of slow gastric emptying beverages.<br> On the other hand, if approximately 2500-fold higher average molecular weight Cluster Dextrin compared to glucose is used, osmotic pressure is hardly affected and hypotonic sports drinks can be readily designed, even though electrolytes, vitamins, and <a href="https://www.musclefeast.com/collections/amino-acids-creatine" target="_blank">amino acids</a>, which are essential for sports drinks, are combined ( in the Figure).</p>
